I already asked you what you\'re trying to prove.  I\'m not going to waste any more time trying to figure it out.

Anyhoo back on topic

The sales last month where

Xbx 265,067
Vs
Ps2 253,295

That’s means that the X box only sold 11,772 units more…Just for one month (too late too late sorry)

But still it does mean that they can have a fresh slate come next GEN.

With 20 to 30 million (by the end of the X box\'s life) they will be able to really put the pressure on sony, next round.

I know for one i will be holding off Buying a X box 2 till around this time in the next gen\'s cycle.

Actually, the Xbox has outsold PS2 three times.  April, August, and now September.  What it means is that the Xbox name is gaining momentum.  

Also, I don\'t get why you people keep saying too little, too late...what are you suggesting?

Too little to late as in the Console has been out for 4 years and is Rival Broke the 70 million mark a long time ago.

Yes the X box is established but its Still light years of being Da PS2 Kuller it was hailed as on launch day.

Hey dickhead, why don\'t you just grow up. I know you have your disagreements with mm, but saying that you hate him is just childish.

I hate/dislike certain behaviour not him.
And whats your problem?DID I TALK TO YOU?Did I say something that was directed to you???I guess you are the finest example of maturity since you jumped out of nowhere and called me a DICKHEAD!!
Even if I am immature that alone makes you less mature than I am.

gaining momentum?

hello?  did it ever occur to you that maybe everyone has a ps2 already?

it\'s pretty damn late to be celebrating over 3 months 4 years in the consoles lifespan :rolleyes:

especially, for the "teh ps2 killah"

oh, and i was bored
ps2 sold more than 70 million, eh?

Xbox continues to go from strength to strength, with cumulative worldwide shipments of 15.5 million consoles since launch

again

15 million?

First, you should stop reading mm\'s posts, he has a tendency to over exaggerate and sometimes flat out lie even when given the facts.  The Xbox has not even been out three years yet,  the 15th of November will mark the three year anniversary.

Second, did anyone expect Xbox to trample Sony\'s total units sold?  I don\'t recall that ever being commented.

"Yes the X box is established "

^Wasn\'t that the objective?

PS2 kuller?  Let\'s not go down that road otherwise we can all start bringing up a bunch of media bullshit and we all know that doesn\'t get us anywhere.

gaining momentum?

hello? did it ever occur to you that maybe everyone has a ps2 already?

Everyone?  There are an estimated 30 million PS2\'s in the U.S., I don\'t know the other countries figures, but that\'s hardly everyone.  PS2 total=70+million. The Playstation managed to get in to 100 million homes, looks like there\'s an untapped 30 million left.  

The Xbox has been on an uprise since release.  More developers have signed on since release and the console has steady sales figures.  It\'s certainly not tanking so what else could I say than it\'s gaining momentum?

it\'s pretty damn late to be celebrating over 3 months 4 years in the consoles lifespan

especially, for the "teh ps2 killah"

mm, it has not been 4 years, Xbox was released on Nov. 15th of 2001.  I\'ll leave it to you to do the math.  

Celebrating what?

Answer my question, what is it about Halo that you want to prove?

3 years, 4 years so what.  i dont pay much attention.  got it confused with ps2 launch date oct/2000.

which is even worse in your defense cause xbox came out over a year later and barely sold 15 million so far

what is it about what i said about halo already that you tried to disprove?

so tell me again how only selling 15 million for a console that came out a year later is ok.

WTF...mm, look up any thread from console debating in the last 3 years and you\'ll find out my response to this.

I asked what you\'re trying to prove?  I only found this one post but I think it sums up the rest of them...

"the fps (or lack there of) ruins halo (and halo 2) for me. ESPECIALLY in co-op.

again, especially in co-op

sorry if you have low expectations
im sure halo 3 will really wow you"

If that\'s your opinion then there\'s nowhere to go with it,  I just didn\'t understand why you posted this...

nice to see people have to resort to bailing out and calling me names instead of proving something. i love it.

EDIT: You always edit your post...

so tell me again how only selling 15 million for a console that came out a year later is ok.

Why isn\'t it okay?

....

i think you forgot to say anything

That\'s because I\'m waiting to hear something from you.  Here are the questions, again...

You can only prove a fact...I\'m asking what fact you have proven and what you expected anyone to argue?

My second question was "why isn\'t it okay?" to have a console that sold 15 million.

your still not saying anything

asking me why i think it\'s not ok for a console to only sell 15 million is rediculous.

The point on the console debate is that xbox is expectedly outselling the ps2, more or less over a few months because of the fact that so many more people have ps2\'s. The selling rate is bound to slow.

Too little too late? Yeah, as in the xbox doesnt look like it will match the ps2\'s # of installation for a long time if it does at all. I dont see why this is so hard to understand.

The xbox has been out 3 years you say? The ps2 has been out for about 4 yet the numbers are almost double that of xboxes sold. Sure this is microsofts first outing but the fact of the matter is that the xbox just isnt making any large competative strides when you look at the big picture. So the xbox sold more in a few months. This says very little and i dont know why anybody makes such a deal out of it. If this trend of sales continued for a year i still dont think it would have caught up so its a pointless argument.

As for the argument of the ps selling so much more - It was out for double the amount of time the ps2 has. Perhaps thats why its installation numbers are so high hmm?

Really, this whole thing is just stupid.
